While I don't agree with their choice of drugs, the sad thing is that their drug activity will be considered more serious than the weapons/gun charges...another story here said that they dismissed gun charges for a POT felony!!! That is why we have so many people getting shot....go after the gun charges and violence like you do a joint, and the people will be safe! How misguided has the law become? End the war on drugs and just go after the violent thugs and those with guns that would harm us at a distance. Legitimize and regulate all drugs to adults...and eliminate their source of money to get those guns....and the need for them in the first place...because it's a war!
